Description

The Gaucho (United Artists, 1927). Window Card (14" X
22").
One of the icons of the silver screen, Douglas Fairbanks, was at
the height of his incredible box office popularity when this
adventure was filmed. The "hero" of this film, the Gaucho, starts
off as a lowlife fraud, who dupes the good religious folks who
pilgrimage to the small village of Miracle City, and steals their
alms. His wild life includes a romance with a lusty mountain girl,
played by Lupe Velez in her film debut. Things soon change and
after seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary, played by Fairbanks'
wife, Mary Pickford, the Gaucho sees the light and mends his ways.
An incredibly rare and special stone litho window card, this beauty
has been professionally cleaned and a small tear repaired. There is
just the faintest of discoloration at the right edge and lower left
corner. A striking and bold portrait of one of cinema's greats, do
not miss out on this find. Very Fine-.
